Lacing and Spokes on 21 x 3.25" rim with stock hub
Does anyone know if the stock spokes and stock hub from my 2000 night train will work with the 21 x 3.25" 40 Spoke Jireh Rim band? If you need more detail on the rim band, you can navigate here
I've never laced up a wheel but thought it would be a good challenge and I would get the satisfaction of knowing I did it myself. I searched on the forum for more info but wasn't able to find much info on this for softails. I found some good info on dynas but wasn't sure if it would apply? Any help or direction would be much appreciated.

First of all, I briefly read about the accident you were in TX_Outlaw and hope you are doing better and get well very soon. Also, thanks for the quick replies.
I attempted to lace it up last weekend but felt like the spokes were too long. I followed the same pattern I have on my current setup. Half of the spokes were sticking out about an inch off the rim band. I guess that's why I ask if the stock spokes are too long? The spokes I have are all the same length with a 90 degree bend on the end. I know truing will be the hard part, but I plan on taking that to a professional.

Let me know how it turns out and also let me know if they were able to get it laced up with the stock spokes and hub.

So it sounds like the stock spokes will not work without some modification. Keep me up to date on what your guy comes up with (custom spokes or cutting them?) and if it ended up costing an arm and a leg. Thanks blackbike!

Hey PT,
great looking train, is that the covington exhaust your running?
curious how it sounds, is it loud? and if you can you run pegs for a pillion with it?
thanks
Dan
